IMPROVED WINDOW-NETTING.

TO ALL `WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JOHN R. WHARRY, of Moundsville, in the county of Marshall, and .State of West Virginia, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Window-Blinds and Netting; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and usethe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to a new and usefulimprovement in the construction, attachment, and arrangement of netting-frames to4 a4 window-casing, whereby the netting-frames are more convenient, and more eilectually prevent the intrusionof insects. p

4It consists in the netting being secured ,upon frames, which frames are hinged to the window-casing by slip. hinges, whereby the same are, at any time, easily removed.

It consists also in hooks, fastened upon the-inside of the blinds, andgpf suitable staples upon the nettingframes, whereby the said netting-trames ma'y,when removed' from the window-casing, be hung, for convenience,

, upon the inside of said blinds.

The drawing is a front view of a window-casing, window, and blinds, with my invention in position thereon.

A is the window-casing, and B are the blinds; C are the netting-frames and netting; e are slip-hinges on the same; el are the slots in the same to receive bent levers a2 upon the blinds; e are staples on the same, by means of' which said netting-frames are hung upon the blinds B; d are hooks on thev blinds B, to receive the staples c2.

The window-blinds B are made of the `same material, in the same general form, and hinged t thc windowcasing in like manner as the windowblinds in common use.

lhe netting-frzmiesV C are made and covered with netting in the ordinary way, and are made in pairs, as shown in the drawing, and are hinged to any convenientportion of theA casing by the slip-hinges e, as shown, so that said frames C may, at any time, easilybe removed. The frames Care provided, at the top and bottom of the same, with suitable metallic staples, e2, by means of which said frames C are conveniently hung upon theA blinds B.

Upon thc inside of the -blinds B, and so as to receive the staples e2, are secured the metallic hooks d, as shown in the drawing.

The operation is easily seen from the drawing and the foregoing description.

Constructed as above, it constitutes also a more convenient manner of constructing and arranging the notting-frame and netting to prevent the intrusion of insects, whereby the same are more easily removed, at pleasure, and hung up, without occupying valnablerocm in the house.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent i 1. The slotted netting-frames C?, and slip-hinges e, in combination with any window-casing, A, substantially as shown and described, and for the purposes set forth.

2. The hoolis Z and yblinds B, in combination with the netting-frames C and staples c2, substantially as shown and described, and Lfor the purposes set forth. A
